Modern fire sensors, equipped with advanced digital imaging software are the best and most effective way to keep damages from fire and a minimum.

Advantages of modern fire sensors

Optical fire detection systems such as the Fcam and other fire detection cameras are combining the benefits of a traditional IP camera with that of an IR camera with advanced digital imaging technology.

This way, a fire sensor can detect even the smallest flames, both indoors and outdoors. What’s more, a fire sensor can detect flames also from a distance. The Fcam by Ciqurix for example can detect a flame and up to 180 meters. This makes fire camera’s in particular useful for the monitoring of large area, outdoors and indoors. They are the best way to protect fires in forests, large industrial complexes, stadiums, manufacturing plants and many other locations.

One of the biggest advantages of a modern fire sensor system is that they can automatically summon appropriate responder services when they take the fire. In many cases, a fire can be extinguished only minutes after its detection. Thanks to their unparalleled detection times and their high reliability and dependability, fire sensors can keep fire damages at a minimum compared to traditional fire detection systems.

The science magazine Science Robotics published research that shows how social robots could be helpful in teaching certain subjects, such as grammar or mathematics. But current technology is still too limited for robots to entirely replace teachers or tutors. Robots still have difficulties when it comes to speech recognition and their ability for social interaction. It will in all likelihood still require many years until robots have mastered these difficulties.

In the business world, Electronic invoicing is all the hype today with increasingly more businesses reaping its benefits. This is easy to understand seeing that electronic invoicing can dramatically help to save a business time and money.

Some go so far as to compare electronic invoicing to email. This comparison is actually not too far off.

Think about your traditional paper invoice has being a letter or postcard.

You will have to mail it to your clients or suppliers. This process can take considerable time.

The other major advantage of electronic invoicing is that all the data is kept and accessible at one central place. Before, you needed to transfer your invoicing data into your accounting computer system. Since the entire invoicing process happens digitally if you use electronic invoicing this is another step that will be saved. Moreover, not having to manually transfer your data from paper into your accounting system means much less potential for mistakes.

Electronic invoicing is not expensive.

It doesn’t require any type of investment nor any sort of special equipment. It is back-compatible with your traditional invoicing process which means that the switch to electronic invoicing can go smoothly without major changes required.

If you are owner of a small business you’re still doing invoicing the traditional way you should consider electronic invoicing. It can be just what you need to get your business up to new heights!

The British Jockey Club, the British horse racing organisation which is famous for hosting some of the nations most popular racing events such as the Cheltenham Festival and the Grand National announced record-breaking financial numbers.

For the sixth year in a row, the club was able to grow its operations, having now achieved a record turnover of £171.2 million. As compared to two years previously, the groups profits rose by 5.1%.

Those record numbers allowed the Jockey Club to to award more than £19 million in prize money in the previous year. This is an increase of £900,000 compared with the year before. The club was also able to invest more than £36 million on upgrading its facilities throughout the country.

Compared to the numbers of 2013, the organisation could rise £21.7 million more, a total of £55.2 million.

Looking at those profit numbers, 2014 second-largest profit year for the renowned British horseracing organisation.

CEO Simon Bazalgette to the press: ” “By maximising returns from our commercial operations we’ve been able to invest more than 400 million pounds into the sport in the last 10 years,” chief executive Simon Bazalgette said in a statement.”

He added: “Racing brings enjoyment to millions of people each year and is responsible for tens of thousands of jobs. We take very seriously our role as stewards of some of its most iconic events as well as our operations throughout all levels of the sport.”

It may sound far-fetched, but scientists have indeed found that the constant use of mobile devices does not only disrupt our social lives and may cause the one or the other health issue but is now also to blame for something you might not even think of: Bad skin and wrinkles!

The scientists found that people who spend most of their time bending over their electronic devices, sometimes many hundred times a day are more likely to suffer from wrinkles around their neck along with other pleasantries such as sagging skin, dropping jowls and “a distinct crease above the clavical”.

Unfortunately there is not much you can do to avoid this condition when you’re one of those who cannot be out there electronic gadgets. The only solution would be prevention and this is to limit your use of those devices.

If you wanted to install fire alarms and smoke detectors in the past it sure was not something you did in a day or two, especially not if you wanted to install fire alarms in larger buildings.

Since old-fashioned fire alarms had been wired this meant that setting up a number of detectors and connecting them to a central console required major structural work such as opening walls to lay the cabling throughout the building.

Most of the time, updating a building’s fire alarm system took several days if not weeks. For businesses of all types, when they wanted to update their fire alarm systems, any such major work often meant major hassles. In many cases businesses had to close together until this work was finished.

The installation of modern wireless fire alarms goes a lot easier and faster. Wireless means that there are no cables required to connect the devices, there is no need for major work inside building, no limits in how many detectors you want to install. The wireless system is also a lot more flexible since the smoke detectors can be installed anywhere.

So, if you’re the owner of a home or business and want to increase your fire safety I can highly recommend that you look into a wireless fire alarm. Unlike in the past, excellent fire safety can now be had without having to endure all those former problems and obstacles. And of course, since those systems require less work in time to set up there also more affordable
